    Default Changing VR Dash Bulbs

    Hey guys,

    remove the instrument cluster. theres threads around.

    check out a thread in the how-to section by fonzie, he covers changing all types of globes in the car.

    Just take the dash facia out, then pull the cluster out. On the back are 4 globes. You can't miss them. Take them out, then pull the glass globe out of the plastic holder and insert LED. Then put the cluster back in and hook up the light switch and test them out. If some arent working, flip the globe around 180 degrees

    I've got the same ones... nice and bright They're easy to put in... just make sure you get them round the right way like VRYNYS said. The only downside of it is you can't see the red indications on the gauges very well... and the needles become hard to see at night, so you may need to pull the needles off and get the orange backing off and replace it with white.
